Repulsion Pushes the Limits of the Universe

-

A new theory replaces dark energy with another matter to explain why the universe is expanding ever faster all the time. According to the theory, two types of matter were produced in the Big Bang: antimatter and ordinary matter. The two were already separated after one second, because the particles repel each other.

The matter united into galaxies, and the antimatter produced antigalaxi­es, which will never unite, as that would cause a collapse. The repulsion between them drives the accelerati­ng expansion of the universe – without any need for dark matter.

PROOF: Since 2011, a space station detector has been searching for anticarbon and heavier antiatoms, which can only have been produced in antistars in antigalaxi­es.
